Default help with brakes quick!!!!!!!

my abs has been disconnected (fuses removed because the pump went) for some time now, well to free up more space in my engine bay i tried removing the whole unit. my dumb friend told me it was alright to cut the wires and well lets just say I HAVE NO BRAKES NOW. fluid just shoots out the lines where they were cut. what should i do? what is the cheapest way. please post or AIM me at SLOWnLOW95 asap cause we are trying to figure out what the fuc* we messed up. thanks tommy

i'm dumb what can i tell you.

well i called acura they want $163 just for those wires.
but they recommended that since the ABS unit isnt working anyways and its only used as a bypass that, i should change the brake system over to the RS style with a proportionings valve instead and use those wires which comes out to about $158 for the vavle and buy RS wires which comes out to about $158 for the valve and about 100 for the brake lines.

but my idea was the proportioning valve and getting the goodridge stainless stell brake lines instead of the stocks for $30+ more. but do the stainless steels actually run all the way from the unit? I should purchase the wires for a RS which uses the porportioning valve right?

THANKS AGAIN TOMMY

just relized that the stainless steel lines don't run from the unit itself so looks like ill be purchasing the stock ones after all.
